RE: Climbers?
Depending on what your needs are Summit makes a stand for you. I really like the Summit Goliath or Viper. these stands are very quiet, stable, comfortable and super easy to setup and climb with. Summit stands in general are excellent in every way and are in my opinion offer the best compromise, of quiet, easy to use, stable preformance.

RE: Climbers?
I have a summit climber. Took it bowhunting once, cursed the whole time. This stand creaked when I shifted my weight. I tried following the instructions included on taking care of noise. I had two climbers earlier on, one was the original baker, which was quieter than this stand.
The stand has and will never go bowhunting again. I do take it gun hunting, I' ll just have to shoot before they get to close because the stand still makes noise when I slowly change position.
Probably the worse two hundred plus bucks I' ve ever spent on bowhunting gear!

I have a steel framed Ameristep. It' s okay, it works, but after a 1/2 mile hike, it feels like I have a Volkswagon Beetle strapped on my back! [:' (] Not only that, but it is real finicky about which tree works best. The last hunt I did with it, the bottom platform decided to go " Oops" on me and slip downwards about an inch! Scared the living $*#&! outta me! [

RE: Climbers?
dkbs,
Which Summit do you have. I am planning to order a viper xls this morning. I climbed with one for the first time a couple days ago and it was easy to use and I could move anywhere on the stand and it didn' t make a sound. Just wondering if yours has a deffect in a weld somewhere or what it is making the noise.
